12th July and Orange Lodges - Help offered

[kschirmaier]

unfortunately I am not sure about that - I know that my father grew up in Warren Park estates. Samuel Crone was married to Margaret (May) Taverner.  They had some time I believe in HorseHill Park - I think I have a picture of my grandfathers tombstone which would give me the exact birth dates and decease date.  My father passed away last year at age 75 so I would assume my grandfather would be about 100 or older if he was still alive.

I had an uncle Samuel who passed away a few years ago but do not remember him smoking a pipe but very possible do not think he resided in the area though he was travelling lots.

I know if you google Samuel Crone Lisburn that his name comes up http://www.lisburn.com/books/lisburn_miscellany/miscellany_1.html

and this one brings up my great aunties

Hello there

not if you can help me but my grandfather was Samuel Crone - a Mason in Lisburn and I believe he was a member of an Orange Lodge there.

I know he was born before 1933 and he died prior to 1967 that is all I have

Perhaps you can help me - my father passed away last year and I would love to get a hold of the lodge crest.

I've made some initial inquiries - did your Sam Crone live in the Hillhall area and was a member of Christ Church choir in Lisburn? Described by the gentleman who knew him as a 'very polite man who smoked a pipe'? This potentially sounds like your Sam, however haven't been able to make a connection to any lodge in either the Orange or Masonic yet.

  Hello,sorry to jump in here!!i would be so happy if you could help me or point me in the right direction.I am from Manchester and know nothing of County Antrim except that my great grand father came from there?He was born William Joseph Leetch abt 1860/62. I was told he was an orange man,a very staunch protestant.I believe he left Belfast because the IRA were after him and he changed the spelling slightly. The T was inserted i believe,his marriage cert has his father as Francis Leetch,timber merchant,William Joseph died in Manchester in 1933,were there Orange clubs in Manchester?Could he have still been associated with orange clubs in Antrim whilst in England?  hope you can help me in some way. regards irishistory.

Looking for information on Thomas McCaughan.

His military pension records show him as an Orange Protestant.

He lived in Armoy Town. His military service was from 1915 to 1919.
His wife was Catherine (Kate) nee McBride. His two children, John and Thomas.
I have census and COI records for his family but I can't determine what happened to this family.

Any Orange Order records for Thomas McCaughan?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi

Firstly thank you for offering your help, much appreciated.

I am trying to find out more information Joseph William Moon, Lisnagrot.  He was a prominent member of Lisnagrot LOL, being one of its founder members.   His name appeared on the warrant received from the Grand Lodge and was for 25 years, District Master.  He was born abt 1845 and died 25 Nov 1916.

Would you have any information re this or know where I could get it.  Would ideally love photos etc.

Kind Regards
Maggie

The best way to try and find this man's lodge would be to have an exact date of death? Hopefully if he was an active lodge member, an obituary would have been placed in the local paper around that time. Given his address I would assume he was in a lodge within Ballymacarratt District but impossible to pinpoint which one.

Sorry fmni, I haven't been onsite for a while but many thanks for this information.  I have a death date and I will try and suss out an obit.

hi, could any one help me get in touch with the above lodge as far as we know is ballinderry. as we found a photo of one of our ancestors wearing the sash also he was wearing the black sash no 357 which we think is agahlee. we would like to see if they have any info that could help us. we think the man may be g.g.grand dad thomas maxwellor g.grand dad armstrong.   
   

Hi Lauren,
I also have that photo and I think it is possibly Edward Stitt who was your G Grandfather Thomas Maxwell Armstrong's brother in Law married to my Grand Mother Georgina Armstrong, they lived in Ballinderry.
The Armstrong's are more likely to be associated with Knocknadona LOL 159 which they still are to this day.
